Next up on our team introduction is the Manager of the Finnish Advanced Light Microscopy Node, Camilo Guzmán. Swipe to learn what Camilo's favourite image combo is and what his particular interests in microscopy are. 🧬

This was incredible. Also, part of my PhD work on a new GFAP isoform is now published: faseb.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1096/fj… Elly Hol hollab

Together with other astrocyte researchers we wrote this highly needed paper for the field. This paper will be an important overview for all interested in reactive astrocytes in brain diseases. @UMCUBrainCenter Intermediate Filament Society nature.com/articles/s4159…

Ready to give a short talk for patients and their families about our research on mini-brains to understand how mutations in GFAP cause Alexander disease. A rare genetic brain / astrocte disease. Intermediate Filament Society @UMCUBrainCenter

ONLY ONE MONTH LEFT TO REGISTER! Don‘t miss the opportunity to be part of the European Meeting on Intermediate Filaments in September 5th-8th in Rolduc. REGISTER HERE: moca.rwth-aachen.de/euroif2021/reg… #euroif #intermediatefilaments #rolduc

Great new collaboration on GFAP with Perez-Sala Lab and others. Looking forward to our collaboration.

To all intermediate filament enthousiasts... please fill out the form below. The seminar series is a great initiative of Emma van Bodegraven, Rebecca de Leeuw and, Oscar Stassen.

Our new review is out now! As a biologist working on intermediate filaments I learned more about their physical properties and discussed studies ‘from tissue integrity to single molecule mechanics’. Read it here: mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/8…

Are you interested in developing new iPS-based models for brain diseases? The labs of Elly Hol (UMC Utrecht Brain Center) and Elga de Vries (Amsterdam UMC) have 2 PhD positions on a project to connect the blood-brain barrier to cerebral organoids (starti…lnkd.in/gnNVAjnK

Really happy to talk about GFAP with my international Intermediate Filament Society colleagues. Next year in Mount Snow USA for the Gordon IF meeting! grc.org/intermediate-f…

A very important part of a conference is networking. A small selection of scientists from all over the world learning from each other:

After a great European Meeting on Intermediate Filaments meeting last week and reading all of your positive comments in our survey, we decided to continue with a bi-weekly seminar series starting October 13 until (for now) the end of 2021! Save the dates and stay tuned for our final program!#ConnectingIFs

We just published a paper on #GFAP as a biomarker in bodyfluids for #glioma. Great job of Dasha Fedorushkova and Jessy van Asperen! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Happy to share our most recent study on lamin-B1 loss and nuclear deformations in #astrocytes during #aging. 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We are delighted to inform you about a study that has been in a long publication tunnel but is finally now in the bright light of a real publication! 📜 Cytoskeletal vimentin regulates cell size and autophagy through mTORC1 signaling dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

We are recruiting !! PhD and post-Doc. If you are interested in glioblastoma invasion, cytoskeletal regulation and mechanobiology and SUPER MOTIVATED, please contact us by mail. Intermediate Filament Society #migration
